Me the guru the implication being on linux HA Ha. Anyway, Andrei was in my office 30 seconds before he shot off the mail and my response was that I had never seen that on anything except a Motorola VME processor at which it meant something quite different than I assume this message here does (assuming this message means anything at all). I have to admit, though, that I was not smart enough to suggest gdb. I do feel, however, (and I told Andrei) that it smells like an array overflow somewhere. In that case gdb may or may not be of use because jobs can run well past the point where an array overflow occurs before it finds something it doesn't like and give the random errors. Anyway, it is undoubtly worth a try. Gee do I miss VMS where one could specify /check=all + an understandable debugger and things could be debugged in a straightforward manner and the error message was related to what the error was and not something semi-random. Kris P. S. The last statement is for Christian as I think he might be getting lazy and I seldom fail to get him to write 10 pages of prose to respond to statements like that and I think he needs to do that to keep himself entertained over the weekend.
